    • that should read 6 starters for that race.  
    • It seems strange to me that the Auckland Cup for Harness is December 31st. The greyhound cup is at the end of January and the Galloping cup is in March.    I am assuming they were all at a similar time of year at some point? What was the logic in splitting them up?    I realise after this year the Greyhound Cup will be gone but it just seems odd as I’m sure they use to have a cup week of sorts a few year back. 
    • so hrnz came up with yet another bright idea that in reality was just dumb.. Hrnz thought they would get  extra numbers racing at nelson to qualify for a $35,000 race  at addington. A race in which the extras they were hoping for,would have to race against much higher graded horses. Only hrnz could possibly think that would work.. so they end up with  just starters in the $35,000 final on friday at addington. pointing out how out of touch wuith reality hrnz and their clever people are is like shooting fish in a barrel.
    • A strong performance against Ka Ying Rising in Sunday’s Group One Centenary Sprint Cup (1,200m) is all Dennis Yip Chor-hong needs to see from Fast Network to confirm a trip to Dubai for the Group One Al Quoz Sprint (1,200m). Third behind Ka Ying Rising in last month’s Group One Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m), Fast Network is on track for his first overseas mission after another clash with the world’s best sprinter at Sha Tin. The five-year-old warmed up for the Centenary Sprint Cup with a...View the full article
    • A Tuesday morning trial at Deagon sees an unusually strong line-up of Queensland’s best talent heading there and highlighted by Antino’s (NZ) (Redwood) first public outing towards the Sydney’s autumn carnival. Tony Gollan left no stone unturned in finding answers to why the seven-year-old finished last, beaten by nearly eight lengths, in the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley last October, but he is confident the gelding is back as good as he was this time last year. “I’m very happy with him,” Gollan said. “I did bone scans and had all sorts of tests done, x-rayed all his joints everywhere and there was nothing that we didn’t know. “He’s got a bit of wear and tear but there are no significant injuries. “He seems as good or better than where he was last year.” Gollan is eyeing a traditional path towards the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on April 11 with the likely campaign to kick off in Sydney on February 14. Antino is slotted in trial three over 1050-metres along with Zarastro who took out the Magic Millions Snippets (1200m) in January 2025.        “It will be a soft trial,” Gollan said. “He’ll be at the back and probably won’t trouble the scorer just following them around. “Then he’ll have another one a couple of weeks later and then hopefully head to Sydney for his first-up run.” Antino is rated an $11 chance for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes with the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Sir Delius the $3 favourite. “Taking out the Cox Plate run, his elite level form was up there in the spring,” Gollan added. “If I want to drop the bar or space him out, I can look at saving him for the Doomben Cup as well. Antino took out the Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m) in emphatic style in May last year. View the full article
